Nova Carmina Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Enjoy Jose Cuas, Cubs fans! What to know: Great story about a guy who worked hard and never quit on his dream; funky low-angle right-handed delivery; and he's absolutely guaranteed to let inherited runners score! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a rebuild. Wow, the Jays really picked the Cardinals' pocket -- I've never even heard of this Svanson guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Farking Brewers SUCK! Plenty of opportunities to put the game away.... Men on 2nd and 3rd, no outs, then three straight strikeouts. Closer Devin Williams pitches the 9th, up 2-1..... Huge error by their new 1st baseman, Carlos Santana, then a freak wimpy single, then a walk,......then a LOSS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolutely the way to go. Seriously, with a clean inning he's pretty good (although would it matter up by 10?!?), but he let 56% of inherited runners score, so if you've got Ross's ear, just remind him.

I do remember Gary Thorne's sighs of exasperation when they were getting trounced 13-1 every other game, and I don't think anything happened to him.

Certain owners and/or management have some pretty thin skin. Fans should chip in and buy them some blankies and pacifiers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
